“Holy shit! I can’t believe it.” Sam exclaimed as sat on my bed and rubbed my back. I had told her everything I encountered in school today and she regretted telling me to go out with Ryker.“I was just a bet, a stupid bet.” I sniffed. I wanted to cry but the tears wouldn’t come out no matter how hard I squeezed my eyes. I guessed I had emptied my tear sac. I was tired, physically, emotionally and mentally tired.“And- and Jasmine, I don’t blame you for hating her. She was just a snitch for her psycho sister.” I said in a low voice.“I never liked that bitch. I knew there was something shady going on around her. And we should throw those people in jail.” Sam said as she rose from the bed and stood in front of me. I liked how she was taking this more seriously than I was.“I’ve actually thought about that on the way here. But Laurel told me her dad could easily bail her out, so it would be a waste of time.” I told her. Laurel also said that she had a huge fight with Cassie because of J
As I stepped into the bathtub filled with warm water, I sat down and let the water soothe my skin, I closed my eyes so I could relax but then it suddenly felt like I couldn't breathe, like something was blocking my nose, like I was drowning. The memory of myself, struggling in the pool flashed through my mind. It was traumatizing.I opened my eyes and gasped for breath. I got down from the bathtub. I couldn't do it. Cassie had scarred me for life, I would never be able to have baths again, or even learn how to swim.I grabbed a towel, wrapped it around myself and walked out of the bathroom. I went straight to my closet and grabbed a shirt and shorts to wear."Shea, you didn't stay long in the bathroom this time." I heard Sam say. I turned to her and saw that she looked excited. She was excited that I didn't stay long and cry in the bathroom this time. If she knew what happened to me there, she wouldn't smile like that.But I smiled at her and covered my fears up. "Yeah." I said as I w
The clubhouse was crowded as usual, loud music, sweaty bodies and people making out in dark corners. Sam and I made our way through the crowd and found a spot to sit in front of the bar, drinks weren’t free today. I guess someone paid for all the drinks the last time we came here. I had a shot of tequila but Sam didn’t drink anything, she said she was going to watch over me so I could drink as much as I liked.“Hey, let’s dance.” I told her as I pulled her to the dance floor, the alcohol was starting to kick in. I swung my body to the beat while Sam did the same.“Shea?” I heard someone call my name, I looked back and saw that it was Felix. Why the heck did he call me? Did Ryker send him to beg me?“Hey.” I said nonchalantly and continued to dance.“Look, Ryker didn’t mean what he did, he already called off the bet when he realized how he feels about you.” He shouted over the music.“Do you mind? I don’t wanna talk about that.” I said as I rolled my eyes at him.“Back off!” Sam said a
"Where are you taking me?" I asked when he guided me through the dance floor and started walking towards the entrance of the clubhouse. My vision was still blurry and I was still drunk."Somewhere I can talk to you." He answered. "But I don't wanna talk to you, remember?" I told him "I'm not going with you, Sam is still inside." I tried to free myself from his grip."She can go home by herself. I'm not letting you go until I talk to you." "And you think I'm just gonna follow you and listen to whatever you wanna say. I'm not Bruno. I don't wanna listen to anything you have to say. You are just going to lie to me again." I said. We were already outside the club house and I saw that his car was parked on the other side of the road.Ryker opened the door for me and made me enter the car. Then he buckled me up before shutting the door and walking to the other side of the car.He entered the car and started to drive. He took off his cap and mask and that was when I saw that Dylan did a re
I closed the door quietly so I wouldn't wake Sam, who was still sleeping inside. I made my way down the stairs and sighted the cab that I had ordered. I got in and gave the driver my location.I rested my back on the seat and sighed as I shut my eyes. It's been twelve days since Dylan and I had that talk and I had been seriously thinking about it because I didn't want to regret my actions.With Ryker's connection and all, Cassie got arrested. Olivia and Jasmine too, since they were accomplices. I was called to the station to give a statement of what happened. I didn't want to go at first but Sam and Dylan convinced me to go.Jasmine and Olivia had been released on bail but Cassie's case was more deeper than that. I knew her parents wouldn't allow her to go to prison. She even lied that I fell into the pool myself but the CCTV footage showed otherwise.Jasmine also came to apologize to me, I had forgiven her but it didn't mean we were going to continue being friends. I don't need frien
"Shea, I'm off to work." I groaned and turned over in my bed as I heard my mom slam the door. I was the only one left at home, my dad usually goes to his mechanic workshop at seven in the morning. My parents had just two children due to their financial status- my elder sister and I. My sister got married last year and moved to New York City, leaving me with our parents. I threw aside the covers and staggered out of bed like a drunkard in my cute Yellow PJs that had the drawing of Mickey mouse. Cute, right? My phone beeped as I was about to leave my room, so I staggered back to pick it from my bed, lying back on it in the process. It was a message from my best friend, Dylan. Dylan: Are you ready? "Oh no!" My eyes widened as I remembered that he was supposed to take me to the mall before going to my dad's mechanic shop to fix his car for our departure tomorrow. Dylan and I just got admitted to the university of Toronto, although I got admitted through scholarship. My parents won'
I hugged my parents for the last time before following Dylan out of our house. My mom had been crying since Dylan arrived at our house this morning. She couldn't stop talking about how much she would miss having me around. My dad tried to console her but it only ended up getting worse. Dylan had packed my bags earlier, not that I have much to pack, just my suitcase and my duffle bag.I waved at them before I got into the car and buckled up."Drive safely." My dad said for the one hundred and tenth time today."I will, Uncle max." Dylan said before starting the car and we started out in Toronto. As soon as we left our driveway, I started to miss my parents."I'm gonna miss them." I said quietly, staring at my palm."I'm gonna miss my family too but hey, we'll meet a lot of new people and it'll be fun." Dylan said with a lopsided smile.I started to feel sleepy. I could barely sleep last night, I was just sneezing and shivering from the cold all through the night. Ahh, it was all thanks
"Oh! My gosh it's him." What is he doing here? Is he a freshman too? He was surrounded by a group of guys, they noticed he wasn't listening to what they were saying, they all looked in the direction he was looking at and soon, they were all staring at me. "What did you say?" Sam thought I was talking to her. "Nothing." I said and shook my head. They were still staring at me and talking amongst themselves. I turned around and grind myself against Sam. Oh! The alcohol was starting to kick in. I flipped my hair from side to side as Sam twerked and danced wildly. A guy appeared in front of Sam and started to dance with her and I was left to dance alone. Someone tapped me on my shoulder and when I turned to look. It was him, he was standing right in front of me. "Hey, remember me?" He asked loudly, I could hear him clearly, he was standing close to me, too close.He was invading my personal bubble. ""Who are you?" I asked, pretending not to remember him. "Your asswipe, silly." He h
